Jerome Tang, who led Kansas State to the Elite Eight in his first year but has failed to replicate that success in his three seasons since, is being fired by the school, sources confirmed to ESPN on Sunday.
Kansas State fired men's basketball coach Jerome Tang for cause, the school said Sunday night. The last-place Wildcats have only one win in the Big 12, and Tang, in his fourth season, lashed out at his players following a blowout home loss to Cincinnati on Wednesday. The basis for the for-cause firing, sources told ESPN, is language in Tang's contract that references any activity that brings "public disrepute, embarrassment, ridicule" to Kansas State.
Kansas State fired basketball coach Jerome Tang on Sunday night, four days after many Wildcats fans showed up with bags over their heads for a home blowout. Athletic director Gene Taylor announced the move in a statement. “This was a decision that was made in the best interest of our university and men’s basketball program,” Taylor said.
